VIPs is the thrilling new adventure from producer Fernando Meirelles (City of God, The Constant Gardener), based on a true story of one of the world's most legendary con-men. Marcelo (Wagner Moura, Elite Squad), an average teenager, always wanted to be someone else. Always impersonating those around him and dreaming of traveling the world and living the high life as a pilot like his father, he runs away from home. But what begins as just another flight of fancy will send Marcelo from the seamy criminal underworld to the glamorous world of high society. Changing everything from his name to his looks to keep up, Marcelo must figure out who he is and who he wants to be - before he loses himself entirely.
